Digital Tuning and Set-up

Advanced Diagnostics & iDSO™

Programmable Load Protection

Description

The GA301 Gradient Amplifier from Performance Controls, Inc. (PCI) is a single axis pulse width modulated amplifier. It is rated at 300 VDC, 100 Arms, 200 Apk and operates from a DC power source. The GA301’s exceptionally low output noise, extremely high bandwidth and excellent stability make it ideally suited for demanding power amplifier tasks found in laboratory and medical applications.

The GA301 is backward compatible with the GA300 gradient amplifier it replaces. Utilizing advanced hybrid digital and analog control architecture, the GA301 provides a host of powerful features. These include digital tuning, digital set-up, diagnostic tools, programmable protection for loads, and more. One such feature is the Integrated Digital Storage Oscilloscope (iDSO™). These features are easily accessible with the companion InSight™ software toolkit.

Applications

The GA301 Gradient Amplifier can be used in these and other applications:

MRI gradient magnetic field control systems

High power, voice coil based shock and vibration test systems

Magnet-based particle beam steering systems

Any inductive/resistive load requiring precise control of high current over a wide frequency range

InSight™ Software Toolkit

Voltage Loop Control (optional)

For applications needing voltage loop control instead of current loop control, such as driving voice coil actuators.

Parallel Operation (optional)

Ability to operate multiple amplifiers in parallel, for driving loads requiring very high current levels.
